A cook devoted to her job at Manx Blind Welfare Society has received recognition of 20 years of loyal service to the organisation.
Margaret Bradbury is pictured receiving a handmade clock from Manx Blind Welfare officer officer, Sally Quayle.
Sally said: ‘Margaret is a loyal and conscientious member of our team - much loved by members and colleagues. In June 2013 she will celebrate 20 years service and we are happy to mark this special occasion.
‘She produces 130 meals every year for Christmas parties and cooks 70-80 meals a week at the centre. Her delicious steak pies and home made fish and chips are particular favourites.
Chief executive Ian Cooil added: ‘Margaret is an excellent cook and baker and previously ran Brown’s cafe in Laxey and restaurants in the UK. Originally from Cannock, Staffordshire, she moved to the island 40 years ago. Her husband Bert is a dedicated supporter of Manx Blind Welfare and we thank him also for his help over the years.
‘We appreciate Margaret so much - the centre would not be the same without her. Her level of professionalism and commitment is second to none. On behalf of everyone I thank her for her total dedication over the last 20 years - and highly recommend her afternoon teas!’
